Can You Dig it?

There have been some things happening at the little park that is located just a few yards from my house. Martineau Park, to be specific. A sign with the park's name on it was installed a few weeks ago, along with a pair of benches. The other day the City of Syracuse began a new project in the park.

Friday morning, right after the grass in the park had been mowed and trimmed, heavy-duty equipment moved in and began to dig up the sidewalk on the south side of the park. This was not unexpected. The sidewalk has been in pretty bad shape for years and really needed to go. I'm not sure if it will be replaced or filled in with more turf. Time will tell.

For anybody who may be interested, here are some photos of the work that went on in my neighborhood Friday morning.

As the work on the park continues and the trees fully bloom. I will post again on the progress. In the meantime, here is a video walk through the park that I recorded a couple of weeks ago. (Yes, I realize that I made a typo when I titled the video on YouTube. It should be A Walk in Martineau Park. Sue me.)
